Yeah, got a CEL...then it left....then it came back....then it left....then I got pissed and went up to induktion to get it checked out.
diagnosis- o2 sensor is dead. not the secondary one post cat, its the primary that sits right on the front of the dp. o well, not an expensive part but definitly one necessary to the motor doing what it should in terms of fuel.
I'd go through vw but i just cleared the codes and lord knows i wont throw one before the dealer looks at it....parts around $90, I'll just replace it.
Anybody else lose one so early?

My car was born with a bad o2 sensor. Gave me CELs for months till the dealer finally figured it out.

o wow, thats crazy. glad they found it. I'll hopefully be replacing mine this weekend.

mine went at 6k

that sucks. I picked up a replacement today. At least they arent too expensive in comparison to some of the past vw 02 sensors. it was only $112. Id have gone in for warranty but I dont think its worth the fight over something minor.
